There is only 1 car per room allowed and the girl at the front desk had no idea where we could park our 2nd vehicle. I feel like she should have been able to direct us to other parking. The hotel is a little aged but the location is great. A 2 minute walk to the beach and restaurants. Air conditioning was a little loud. Bed was comfortable. I would stay here again

Clean beautiful room big bed fluffy bedding. Quite nice indeed. Friendly staff who treated us so kindly and accommodated our need for a late check in. We were able to have ease of access to all the things near by. Park you car for the weekend in the hotels lot and walk it's no more three blocks either direction to find things to do and food to eat. The local famous breakfast club is right beside this hotel. It's amazing. We loved everything about our stay and will be back soon.

First and foremost, the front office staff is absolutely amazing! Pleasant and happy with a smile every time I saw them. Thanks, ladies!
As for the room, it was super clean and fresh, including the floors, the fridge and microwave. Hot water with good pressure in the shower. Bed was comfy. and best of all, a super short walk to the beach! This is my new favorite place. Thank you Sandcastle! See you guys next week.

just a decent, clean, hotel that is steps away from the beach. Nothing fancy, but provides a good place to stay while enjoying Tybee Island.

The staff was very courteous and welcoming, so that was very much appreciated. The room itself was just OK. The flooring was nice, and the beds were comfortable. I know you get what you pay for, but the bathroom looked like it was original to the property built decades ago. It is in serious need of renovation. The ceiling above the sink was open, showing decades-old piping and crud.

Our first room wasn't as good as we expected, the desk clerk gave us choices of better rooms to move into and apologized. She requested maintenance to take care of it. All staff were friendly and helpful. We stay here yearly. Nice place and location.

Close to the beach and restaurants. If you are looking for quiet this isn’t the place. If you are looking to have fun and somewhere to pass out drunk this place will work.
